Day
82 - Lincoln, NH to Fryeburg, ME - 46
miles ............ 3830
total miles
We crossed into Maine this afternoon! It's hard for us to comprehend
this is our last state! We had a 13 mile climb right out of Lincoln up to Kancamagus
Pass. It was our last long climb of the trip but didn't seem as steep or hard
as the last 3 days. Most of the ride was thru the White Mountain National Forest,
following streams up and then down. No development or services for 32 miles, lots
of hiking trails, picnic spots and campgrounds. We had lunch in Conway on our
way to Fryeburg where we're spending the night. Traffic is picking up at the start
of the holiday weekend. We're planning an early start tomorrow morning.

We
are loving the views in the morning! The Pemigewasset River |
One
of the very few open views on our way up the Kancamagus Hwy. The trees kept us
in shade, making the ride very pleasant....well as pleasant as an 8-11% uphill
grade can be! |
We
made it! The yellow sign is warning us of a 4 mile 12% downhill....bummer JJJJJJJJJ |
